July 4th 2016 hacks

I love sharing the best recipes, crafts, games, decorations, music, money savings, and photography tips for celebrating America’s birthday – there’s something for everyone.  Let us not take for granted what a gift we have been given – let’s unite on the fourth of July as Americans!

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. ~Ronald Reagan

We can make our patriotic time together with great family time, games, food, decor, and cute outfits. But let us not forget WHO made it possible for our completely FREE celebrations.


What does July the 4th mean to you?  Be sure to share that with any young people in your life before this Independence Day is over.  I beg you to learn what Independence day is all about and teach everyone under your influence so you don’t end up like this …..

Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July 2016, y’all!

    Great links! I am in Australia so we don’t do 4th of July, but we have Australia Day in Jan which is the same colours so will definitely use some of these.

    What a wonderful collection of ideas. I have seen a video about how even college students don’t know what Independence Day is all about.
